Lu Yichen hugged Wu Yaqing, showing a rare smile, "I sneaked in, don't wake people up."

Wu Yaqing immediately restrained her breathing and joy, "It's hard for you, there are so many guards outside."

Lu Yichen was very skilled in martial arts, and he didn't take those guards seriously, "It's a small thing, but it's really not easy to meet you."

Wu Yaqing said with some embarrassment, "My queen mother is too strict."

Lu Yichen turned around and explained to Wu Yaqing, "It's okay, your mother also cares about you, but don't worry, I will definitely marry you in a fair and honest manner."

Wu Yaqing stared at Lu Yichen with burning eyes, "I'll wait for you."

Lu Yichen's eyes were stained with friendship, and he looked at Wu Yaqing intently, "Your uncle has already made arrangements for me. I will go to suppress the bandits in two days, and I won't be able to visit you for a while."

Speaking of this, Wu Yaqing couldn't help worrying, "All the officials sent by the imperial court to suppress the bandits were killed by the bandit leaders. I advised my mother not to let you go, but my mother insisted, Yichen, you must be careful, don't get hurt."

Lu Yichen said calmly and confidently, "They can't hurt me, don't worry."

"I'll bring you something." Wu Yaqing let go of Lu Yichen, trotted to the dressing table and took out a box from the drawer, then returned and put the box in Lu Yichen's hands, "This is the medicine Qing Zhi gave me, it can save lives, you keep it."

Lu Yichen was moved, he tightened his fingers holding the box, and with the other hand, he brought Wu Yaqing over and hugged her tightly.

It's hard not to fall in love with such a pure and kind girl who treats him wholeheartedly.

"I will come back safely, wait for me!"

"Um."

The two were tired of each other, and Lu Yichen didn't leave until midnight. Early the next morning, he took his soldiers and embarked on a journey to suppress the bandits.

...

Another fine day today.

During breakfast, Chu Qingzhi put four new products on a plate and put them on the table, "I made this last night, everyone, try it."

Chu Xuyao ​​cheered, "Fifth Sister is cooking delicious food again!"

Suddenly, everyone gathered around the table.

Grandpa Chu and Grandma Chu felt that their teeth were bad, so they reached out to eat the softest-looking Shaqima.

Chu Rong and Li Qingyu ate peanut candy. They are middle-aged and prefer to eat more solid things.

Chu Xuyuan, Chu Qingyan, and Chu Xuyao ​​went to get potato chips, which were more like snacks.

Others ate pork jerky.

Chu Qingzhi also took a piece of dried pork to eat, she prefers meat.

Everyone tasted all the new products, and then expressed their opinions one after another. After listening to their words, Chu Qingzhi concluded that the first one everyone ate was their favorite, and the others were also liked, but they were still inferior.

Chu Qingzhi had an idea in her mind, and after breakfast, she went to the workshop with Shen Ruyue to prepare for the trial sale of new products.

She has already arranged for the road construction, so she doesn't need to watch it herself, just go and see it from time to time.

...

After several days of hard work, the road from Chujia Village to Tongzi County has been built for two kilometers. No one cheated or cheated, and no one cut corners.

But today there is still a problem.

Two workers lifted the stone slab and put it on the ground. When they were pounding and compacted, the bluestone slab broke and became two pieces.

The reason why bluestone slabs can pave roads is that they are hard, wear-resistant, and not easily damaged. Workers are very puzzled by the fact that they will break when knocked like this.

When everyone saw that the bluestone slab was broken, they all surrounded it.

"You said what are you doing with so much strength? The bluestone slab is so expensive. Now it's up to you how to pay for it."

"It's not the first time I'm laying stone slabs, don't I know how hard it is?"

"Then why is it still broken?"

"How do I know, anyway, I didn't mean it."

"It's just a stone slab. It's okay. I'll talk to Brother Churong later. I won't blame you. Hurry up and get a new one. Don't delay the construction schedule."

One time, maybe it was a mistake, everyone didn't say anything, just dispersed and continued to do their own work.

The worker cleaned up the broken slate, and then moved a new piece with the workers and re-paved it.

"Crack!" The second piece cracked again, this time not only his but also everyone else's.

Seeing this, everyone felt that the matter was serious.

A worker looked at the broken crack of the bluestone slab, "Is this a bluestone slab?"

"That's right, the colors and textures are all the same."

"That's strange, how could the bluestone slab crack when knocked?"

Chu Shi'an invited Chu Rong over. He was in charge of inspecting the project. When he saw that the first bluestone slab was cracked, he went to find Chu Rong.

"Chu Rong, take a look."

Chu Rong bent down to look at the cracks in the bluestone slab, but found nothing wrong.

He frowned slightly, and looked at all the broken stone slabs, but found nothing wrong.

Unable to figure it out for a while, Chu Rong said, "Pick up the broken stone slabs and put new stone slabs on it." Find the reason slowly, and the construction period cannot be delayed.

Everyone backed away and continued to work, but they all had doubts in their hearts.

Something unexpected happened.

No matter how the slate is paved, it will crack when knocked, and sometimes it will crack into several pieces, which is very brittle.

Everyone gathers to find the reason.

"what happened?"

"Isn't it obvious? This bluestone slab may not be a bluestone slab."

"Do you have any basis? It looks the same."

Everyone debated endlessly, but there was still no definite answer, so Chu Rong had no choice but to go back to find Chu Qingzhi.

Chu Qingzhi quickly rushed over, seeing a large pile of rubble, her expression immediately sank.

"This is dolomite, not bluestone slab at all!" Yunhuayan and bluestone slabs look exactly the same, but they are very fragile and have a texture like porcelain. They are not very useful and worthless.

Chu Qingzhi looked at the crowd and asked, "Who is responsible for purchasing the bluestone slabs?"

"I'm in charge." Chu Mingyuan squeezed in from the crowd, and walked up to Chu Qingzhi with a disturbed expression.

Chu Qingzhi asked sternly, "Didn't you find out that this is not a bluestone slab when you purchased it?"

Chu Mingyuan was very dissatisfied with Chu Qingzhi's attitude of questioning her face to face, "I didn't do it on purpose, sister Qingzhi, there's no need to be so serious, right?"

"I don't need to be serious." Chu Qingzhi's tone immediately calmed down, "As long as you replace these cloud flower rocks with bluestone slabs."

Chu Mingyuan was dissatisfied, "Didn't you get so many donations? How can you be so stingy with so few bluestone slabs?"

Chu Qingzhi said in a deep voice, "It's everyone's money, not mine, and it's not your money. Now that there is a problem with the bluestone slab, you don't reflect on yourself. Instead, you have the right to ask everyone to take responsibility for you. Is there such a reason?"

Chu Mingyuan was very unconvinced, "I didn't mean it either, is it interesting for you to say that?"
